Oh my... are they crazy?

[girl gone mad]

The MSM's slide toward complete irrelevance continues, unabated.

"The story of the year was a weak economy that could have been much, much weaker. How the mild-mannered man who runs the Federal Reserve prevented an economic catastrophe"

lol...

[DJ13]

1. The elites are desperate to keep Bernanke in charge of the Fed

And why not, he's funneled trillions straight onto their bottom line leaving the country holding the bill.

[Speck Tater]

2. Reality is incompatible with modern "civilization". nt

[lapfog_1]

3. Remember, it's Time, INC.

or rather, Time Warner INC.

Shareholders, CEOs, etc, etc.

He certainly WAS Person of the Year for the corporatists.

[slay]

5. +1

fuck Time.

[Goldstein1984]

4. What did you expect from the corporate media...

Bernie Sanders as Man of the Year?

This is war, and propaganda is part of war.

[Ghost Dog]

8. Maybe Time just didn't dare name Lloyd Blankfein to that slot

(unlike Forbes/Directorship's 2009 CEO of the Year): http://www.forbes.com/2009/12/16/lloyd-blankfein-goldman-leadership-managing-directorship.html

The nice guy from the Bronx. Uh huh.

6. I Was Rooting For Bernie Madoff

Missed it by just a smidge.

7. 1938 Adolf Hitler, Time's Man of the Year

They have a history of being boldass blind.

[girl gone mad]

9. Yeah, the cover on the right is from 1993 (I think).

Rubin, Summers, Greenspan. How'd those guys do "saving the world"? :rofl:

[OllieLotte]

10. Being the ":Man of the Year" is not necessarily an honor.

Time (which I never read), views it as the person that had the largest impact. In that light, I think a person could make a pretty good case for Uncle Ben. Note: Hitler was also a Time Man of the Year in 1938. Hitler certainly had a pretty big impact on the world.

[jberryhill]

12. Nobody ever gets that

It's bizarre this needs repeating every year.

[OnlinePoker]

13. Agreed

And I seriously doubt anybody on this board could have disputed last year's "Person of the Year": Barack Obama

[girl gone mad]

16. The article that accompanied the cover was pretty glowing..

so I took it as an endorsement. :shrug:

[LeftHandPath]

11. Are they 'Crazy'?

I prefer the word 'Criminal'?

And I would vote a resounding Yes, they are criminal.

Sherrod Brown voted to reappoint Bernanke? WTF is going on in the world?

[Crewleader]

14. Person of the year comments from Peter Schiff

15. And they wonder why...

they are going out of Bidness.
